Surly Kitsch Hoppy Lager, 6.1% ABV, IBU: "moderate", Surly Brewing Company, Minneapolis & Brooklyn Center, MNThis one appears in the new variety Hop Pack. And on tap, somewhere, I'm sure. Taproom, of course. Elsewhere? Maybe?
Lightly hazed, bright golden color, large crystalline white head, leaving lace.
In the nose: lightly hoppy, floral, nice.
In the mouth: Crisp, clean, bright, lean, and lovely. Big hop bitterness, climbs on the palate and sticks around for sure. Tasty. Light bodied. Expertly drinkable. Long hoppy finish. Did I say delicious?
BREWED FOR: OVERDOING IT. IN A GOOD WAY.
Anything worth doing is worth overdoing. Especially when it comes to hops. A dry-hop bill of Citra, Amarillo, and Centennial turns this otherwise classic lager on its ear. Traditionalists may call it "kitsch." That's a good name. We'll use it.
